Sgt. Maj. of the Army Michael R. Weimer visited the Puerto Rico Army National Guard headquarters at Fort Buchanan on Aug. 4 to meet with senior leaders, engage with Soldiers, and recognize outstanding performance. He also traveled to Fort Allen, where he met with instructors at the 201st Regional Training Institute and with cadets of the Puerto Rico Youth ChalleNGe Academy. During these engagements, Weimer emphasized the importance of mentorship and developing the next generation of leaders—cornerstones of his leadership vision since becoming the Army’s 17th Sergeant Major in August 2023.
"Our Soldiers felt heard and valued. Sergeant Major Weimer's message was clear: Every Soldier matters, and their well-being is a priority," Méndez Mercado said. "This visit reinforces our commitment to continue cultivating strong, prepared, and dedicated leaders for Puerto Rico and the nation."
Eighteen Soldiers received the Sergeant Major of the Army's Coin of Excellence for exceptional performance during the day's engagements.
